Daily Stack is a playful tool that helps you become more aware of your daily work-flow and time management. By creating a physical representation of your tasks, Daily Stack speaks subtly to your conscience and helps you manage your time through unobtrusive ambient feedback.

It consists of a base device and a collection of wooden bricks in different shapes and colours. The bricks represent different kinds of tasks and time-intervals. By adding a brick to the base you commit yourself to the task and time span that the selected brick represents. Daily Stack communicates with a desktop widget on your computer that enables you to keep track of your time and tasks in progress. It also enables you to browse through your past and and compare your days in a colourful informative pattern.

I’m not a fan of the iphone. In fact i’m kind of fed up with the mass direction apple is going.. But this iphone app by Record makers is making me revise my all anti-iphone position… Record makers are a French independent label and they asked artists Mrzyk & Moriceau to brand their 10th birthday. Mrzyk & Moriceau created this beautiful iPhone app inwhich you can create random art by swiping different parts of the drawing.

Have fun with one finger only! Drawings by Mrzyk & Moriceau

Opening by Sébastien Tellier

Record Makers are the ones behind Sébastien Tellier and thus created this video to commemorate their 10 years of activity > by Mrzyk & Moriceau as well

CLEVER LITTLE BAG :

With the ‘CLEVER LITTLE BAG :’, Puma kicks-off the next pivotal phase of it’s sustainability program.
The tens of millions of shoes shipped in our bag will reduce water, energy and diesel consumption on the manufacturing level alone by more than 60% per year.

In other words:
approximately 8,500 tons less paper consumed,
20 million Mega joules of electricity saved,
1 million liters less fuel oil used and
1 million liters of water conserved.
During transport 500,000 liters of diesel is saved and lastly,
by replacing traditional shopping bags the difference in weight will save almost 275 tons of plastic.
That’s only one brand, I hope others will follow.

But having said that, where am I going to put my bills for my income Tax?
Andif they’re just switching cardboard for fabric (cause they’re still using a lot of material) than what’s the real impact?

Expected to hit the shelves globally by 2011.

Kind of odd to look at.
Crime maps (USA) provides the public with valuable information about recent crime activity in their neighborhood. the goal is to assist police departments in reducing crime through a better-informed citizenry. It’s in the making, not all states stats are integrated.

It’s interactive (like Google Maps), letting you zoom from a view of the whole city, down to an individual street > any address, anywhere in the city. Here are a few highlights: Central Park + Greenwich Village.

Watch them take over google maps! Help them expand to other 8-bit cities

This little app is great. It basically traces all the paths you make with your cursor. Dots emerge when your mouse is resting.

Why did Brian Wilson use Cooper Black on the cover of Pet Sounds? Why did Obama use Gotham for his election propaganda? It has long been apparent that typefaces reflect the character of the person using them, and that type choice, as well as the words that are typed, is a powerful conveyor of meaning.

This fun interactive microsite figures out which typeface best represents you. The recommendation is sometimes controversial but always unerringly true…. so they say…

By answering 4 questions, “what type are you ” determined I was dot matrix… Now I have to kill myself.

So what type are you ? > A brilliant little app by Pentagram

This motion typography (in french) is about the Gill Sans.
It sums up everything about that font.

Eckhard Neumann: FUNCTIONAL GRAPHIC DESIGN IN THE 20′S. NYC: Reinhold Publishing Corporation, 1967. First edition. Full cloth over boards in dust jacket: a near-fine or better copy with light wear overall. Interior unmarked and very clean. Classic early design work that is now sadly out-of-print.

8.25 x 8.25 hardcover book with 96 pages and 113 illustrations in b/w or two colors. This influential book was the first scholarly study to tie together the disparate elements of the European Avant-Garde (Bauhaus, Dada, Cubism, Futurism, de Stijl, etc. ) and how they related to the emerging field of Graphic Design. Highly recommended.

From the book: “This important book documents that astonishinglycreative decade — the 1920′s, with its entirely new and functional visual language. The innovative art trends of the twentieth century, which include Cubism, Futurism, and Dadism, have had a determining influence on the development of today’s visual language.”

Eckhard Neumann reveals through a clear and well-illustrated text the close historical connection between fine art and graphic design, and discusses the origins of graphic design today.”
